A tutorial on laser-based lighting and visible light communications:device and technology [Invited]

This tutorial focuses on devices and technologies that are part of laser-based visible light communication(VLC)systems. Laser-based VLC systems have advantages over their light-emitting-diode-based counterparts, including having high transmission speed and long transmission distance. We summarize terminologies related to laser-based solid-state lighting and VLC, and further review the advances in device design and performance.The high-speed modulation characteristics of laser diodes and superluminescent diodes and the on-chip integration of optoelectronic components in the visible color regime, such as the high-speed integrated photodetector,are introduced. The modulation technology for laser-based white light communication systems and the challenges for future development are then discussed.     

枕型二维位置敏感探测器的研制

证明了枕型二维位置敏感探测器设计的基本原理———Gear定理,并推导了适用于枕型二维位置敏感探测器的位置计算公式,此外还提出了枕型二维位置敏感探测器的制作工艺和测试结果。采用集成电路工艺所研制的枕型二维位置敏感探测器(光敏面为8 mm×8 mm)表现出良好的光电特性,当反偏为5 V时其暗电流约为15 nA,峰值时的光谱灵敏度超过了0.6 A/W。在所测量的 75%光敏区域内,均方根位置误差约为 0.135 mm,而以均方根位置误差表示的非线性度在1.1%左右,比四边形二维位置敏感探测器的位置线性度提高了近一个数量级。
